A new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is … a book which is now speaking.
2 Timothy 3:16–17 NIV
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
All Scripture…
…is God-breathed…
…and is useful for…
Teaching
Rebuking
Correcting
Training in Righteousness
So that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work
What a tragedy for any Christian to be labeled as spiritually unprepared for a task when the means of instruction and preparation are readily at hand!
